Perhaps languages are more popular on StackExchange because they are too difficult and therefore generate a lot of questions.

Quote: they are too difficult and therefore generate a lot of questions
It's an interesting problem in statistics - identifying the *real* reason for some correlations.
Recently a research paper showed that drinking lots of coffee made people live longer (statistically). However, I would be interested in the fact the people who drink lots (and lots, and lots) of coffee tend to drink less hard liquor and beer, have a higher IQ and eat slightly more healthy foods and not to excess - which could have a statistically significant effect on longevity - so how accurate is the "drink more coffee and live longer" theory? ...or how popular is Python really?
btw: I once ate a python, or some of it anyway; it was delicious (it tasted like chicken - no, really!).

Reminds me of my semester paper for statistics class - I proved (conclusively, no less) that the rise in sales of vacuum tubes correlated closely with the rise in the suicide rate. (and there you have a clue to when I was taking college classes  )
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Python is not that language. It's basically psudeocode with a conditionally forgiving interpreter, provided that you don't try to use white space to format...

As a former naval architect and a current marketing consultant to startups, I found that the same principle that lets a 13-person crew navigate the world’s largest container ship to a port halfway around the world without breaking down also applies to startups working towards aggressive growth goals "I just want your extra time and your KISS"

I kind of agree with him. I have faced a couple of overcomplicated things in my life. But the worst is not that, it is the "never change a running system" mentality used to the limit.
If you already find the problem (or I find it for you), please try to solve it (or let my try it if I think I can really solve it) before it explodes in (y)our face.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. "Proficiency takes less time", "Troubleshooting takes less time", etc.
Let's not dwell on the fact that designing a simple system takes either (and sometimes both):
• Ten times as long
• A large wealth of experience
Neither of which is readily available to most start-ups.
He might as well tell them that all they need is five billion euros (real billions, not the tiny US ones).

For NASA, redundancy is all-important. (Why send a single server beyond the stratosphere when you can send five?) Because sometimes it *is* rocket surgery

Rocket-science is a nice hobby; I haven't sent a Pi up because most of it explodes.
Rocket-surgery, how would that work?

Now if we could come up with redundant Operating Systems and Software....
I really hate it when my satellites go up in smoke because the rocket "ran out of time", or my jet engines turn off because they have been running to long.

I've heard of small, critical systems developed by separate teams working in parallel. Their implementations ran in parallel and used a voting scheme to decide what to do in case of a disagreement.

The only thing I found even mildly interesting about the article was their assertion that there may be "insecure" WiFi services.
Is that why my connection is sometimes jittery?

The final specifier is useful for expressing to readers of the code that a class is not to be derived from and having the compiler enforce this, but it can also improve performance through aiding devirtualization. The Final word
